In chapter's V labyrinth, the direction are labelled "forward, left, right, back" ; I've been drawing a map (dungeon and dragon style !), and shouldn't it be "north west east south" ? The directions are clearly given in an absolute fashion, independantly from where Yuuto is facing (as would forward / left etc. suggest). The first time there I was quite confuse because I pictured the place with Yuuto's facing in mind :)
You're probably right, but that's how it is in the original. I agree it's pretty confusing, considering whether to do something about it.

Esperia, Aselia...... the others spirits. Lesteena. The townspeople.
I've come so attached to this world and enjoy living here so much that it's become a second home to me.

The conversation between Lesteena and the king before mission 9:
Lesteena: "The Entranger and his forces will be there as well!"
Should be Etranger

You're using a hyphen for 'white-winged girl' but not for 'dark winged girl'

That's a CD. A compact disk. You put it in a special machine and it lets you hear music.
The accepted spelling for disc in CD has a c, not a k. Pretty ridiculous considering I've never been able to wring consistency from the usage of disc and disk--hard disk, compact disc, vertebral disk, [frisbee] disc--but there it is.
She can't be measured on the same scales as someone like me. Our enemies must realize that too.
The expression is on the same scale (singular).

Both lines are from normal dialogue.

Tokimi, how to I get to the resting place of the swords...... the End of Time?
I walk down the straight, blue-white, hard strone corridor. My lack of a sword makes me feel even more helpless.

"Even that trivial gesture makes me heart beat a little faster"

Should be "my".

"This is the place I should be!"
Should be "be in"

That's how fast Helion is. In terms of sheer speed, she's definition in the top one or two out of all the Rakios spirits.
That definition should probably be definitely.

As a style critique, the "top one or two" sounds pretty awkward; it should probably be either just "in the top two" or maybe "she's definitely number one or two." Not that it really matters, since the meaning is clear enough--the phrasing just strikes me as a bit engrish-y.
